Bilingual
I took a walk down my old street
But a little thought occurred to me
I belong to the street more than it does to me
How tediously Sophoclean
To look for signs of poetry
In the golden litter and the tinfoil shining
Wave, I'm waiting on a wave
For someone just to say
"Oh, honey, you'll be safe"
ย
Oh, baby, you're so good to me
But these benzodiazepines
Make me foggy as a London day
Well, fuck sentimentality
It's for the weak and lazy
Under your velvet cloak
I see your pitchfork shinin'
Wave, I'm waiting on a wave
For someone just to say
"Oh, honey, you'll be safe"
On wave, I'm waiting on a wave
For someone just to say
"Oh, honey, right this way"
